Men’s Exclusive Class (Tokyo)

This ikebana class for male students, inaugurated in 1982, was intended for men who might feel more comfortable in a masculine atmosphere and would prefer to develop such sensibilities.

Four Instructors take turns to teach the students, in their 20’s to 60’s, including beginners, those who are hoping to become artistic creators, and prospective ikebana teachers. The class schedule is relatively flexible with the students, who are privileged to attend the Teachers’ Workshop, the highest-level class in Sogetsu.
